Olindo Mare to Panthers for a 4 Year Deal

[CatMan72]

I think most are more upset that we regressed at the position, rather than any silly loyalties.

Maybe we had to take a step back at K to find someone that can also handle KO's and free up a roster spot?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Congrats on totally missing the point... having to use another roster spot on a guy to KO because you are keeping a guy around out of a sense of loyalty is not how you build a winning program.

But OLINDO MARE? An old, notoriously chokejob kicker getting more money than half the players on the team? WTF MAN

[rayzor]

Yeah! Change for the sake of change! that always fixes everything, I mean look at America!! Whoo!

Kasay had to go! Why? I mean, look how long he has been here! Let's go sign a bum!! Yeah! Take that, monotony!

Fail.

change for change's sake? did i say that or was that just your lame interpretation because you didn't like my opinion.

mare is just as accurate and can do kickoffs. mare will also be around for a longer period of time. not sure where the problem is other than kasay just being a legend around here because he's the last of the original panthers.

we had to move on at some point.

I'd rather keep two roster spots and have a kicker that can win games than one guy who can boot it and choke in big games, especially with the new rules.

Some people are so focused on "OMG 2 ROSTER SPOOTS FOr a K1CKER!1" that they are failing to see what benefits we got from it.

Yes, brilliant post. This 2-14 team is just 1 player away from a Super Bowl trophy and we got in 38-year-old kicker Olindo Mare.

:rolleyes:

If the guys got a similar percentage and experience to Kasay and can do KO's it's a no brainer imo. Now you can argue that we paid him too much but I don't think you have a solid argument that he's not an upgrade over Kasay if nothing else because of the KO issue.

how did we regress? again... just as accurate, younger, and can do kickoffs eliminating the need for a KOS (btw...name all the teams smart enough to have one of those).

[Montsta]

And they begin...

RT @FO_ASchatz Ervin Santana throws no-hitter. Carolina Panthers offer him $24 million guaranteed.

I'm sorry but this made me actually lol.

I'm sure that 38 year old will inject some serious life on this aging team! Especially when Rivera is cussing him out in post game press conferences for losing games for us! But, hey, at least he's NEW!!!! YEAAAAHHHH BABAYY!!

[TheRealDeal]

I don't have much to contribute about this signing.

[Razeyfingers]

a better measure would be a system where FG% is weighted by the average attempt distance.

Not being a jackass man, but why post the numbers anyways then. Some stooge here will undoubtedly use it as proof. Numbers often dont tell the whole story, as you were saying.

Also, the number of coaches he played under and home stadium he kicked in would have to be considered.

[Cat'sGrowl]

It's a kicker, not the end of the world.

If Mare blows a kick Kasay would've made, it will be. At least on this board.

[TruCatzFan]

You mean to FUGGIN tell me that there isnt a solid college kicker out there we could have signed on the cheap!?

I'm more than upset about this!

[JakeFlake]

yeah, but Mare wouldn't have kicked it out of bounds in the Super Bowl

/sarcasm

[rayzor]

meh...go ahead and keep on whining/ranting about it.

time to move on.
